The Drift

"Really good book! That was my first of this author and I will be reaching for more !! "

"Received an e-book copy from Penguin Random House Canada and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I loved this book and would have devoured it in one sitting if not for the need to sleep. This a compulsive read that will drag you in and hold you hostage till the last page. This is a story that you will have to pay close attention to in order to keep up with the subtle signs that will tie three characters together. The story is told by Hannah, Meg and Carter with their perspectives woven into a tightly braided rope of truths, lies and connections. Do yourself a favour and order this intensely satisfying book. You will not be disappointed as I predict this will be one of the top books of 2023!!"

"CJ Tudor delivers big time on this blood bath of a thriller. This one isn’t for the faint of heart if death isn’t your thing…but all my fellow seasoned thriller readers will have no trouble. <br/>This is told from 3 different situations taking place where a group of individuals are somehow tied into a school for a very dangerous deadly disease where there is no cure. <br/><br/>I loved how the book was laid out and thought the ending was phenomenal when it all came together. Definitely one to pick up."

"Phenomenal story telling and world building, couldn’t put it down once I started, and getting to understand the subtle clues throughout the story and guess what’s happening is an incredibly good feeling. Fantastic foreshadowing and a satisfying ending, will definitely have to check out more by the author!"

"when i thought i knew what was happening, i soon found out i didn’t know **** and the plot twist genuinely surprised me in the best way. i was not disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed the three POVs. "

"C.J. Tudor's newest release is a post apocalyptic horror/mystery/thriller book that takes place during a big snowstorm that will keep you on your toes. The plot is divided into three separate narratives. <br/><br/>First, there's Hannah, a med student who is trapped in a wrecked coach with other students. She and the other survivors must work together to make it out alive. Next is Meg, she is a former police officer trapped in a cable car with others and they too must work together to figure out how to get to safety while 1,000 feet in the air. Last is Carter, a worker at a former ski resort turned secret laboratory. All are impacted by a worldwide pandemic. What happens next? You'll have to read the book to see as telling anymore would spoil it. <br/><br/>I liked the claustrophobic atmosphere of being trapped in a snowstorm. It built a lot of dread. The pacing is very good and the characters are mostly well rounded. Speaking of characters, there are ALOT of them. Sometimes it was hard to keep them all straight. I also felt like the plot from Meg's POV was the least interesting, while Hannah's POV was best. Carter's lies somewhere in the middle. Overall, I feel like it was a pretty decent read. If pandemics are a trigger for you, it may be best to skip this one though. <br/><br/>My thanks to Ballantine Books, author C.J. Tudor, and NetGalley for gifting me a digital copy of this book. My opinions are my own."

"I'm going to sound like everyone else here with a critique for this book but there were way too many characters to keep up with across way too many perspectives that were way too similar.I kind of wish I could have kept track till the end because I want to know what happens, but this was a miss for me. CJ I'm sorry!!"
